I had never seen it.
Yes, that is close to what I mean.
However that is buried in the interface so hard to find intuitively.
It is also a bit weird that each action has a different panel.
I would just put all the actions on the same panel
It is not difficult to deal with the logic of "if already started, you don't need to start again" and so on
A mod system lets the user configure their user interface the way they want and share their effort amongst one another.
Code:
"Software require mature users."
"This is a hypervisor, not a game. No sane person would"
I understand that you, who work as Space NASA Computer cannot change things like the height of your chair without 3rd committee approval.
But some proxmox users, you might be surprised to learn, are not afraid to do things that might void the warranty sticker.
We might even get naughty with it and [CENSORED BY MODS]
What I'm saying is not everyone who uses proxmox lives in the network operation closet next to the hot water tank.
And it's currently hard for them to implement changes in the user interface to optimize workflow.
Code:
"Greasemoney and monkey-patch the code on the fly'
The problem with that is that it now becomes extra infrastructure to do this on every single browser I might use to access my servers.
Instead of deploying greasemonkey to every browser and then sinking the greasemonkey patches accross all of them, modifying the server itself would be relatively much easier.
Code:
So you tell us that we are not interested in working with community members? This is a weird assumption and not true.
Yes that would be weird because that is not what I said.
I made a general remark and if you don't feel the hat fits then don't wear it.
How high the bar is for one user to pass their modifications on to other users varies greatly from project to project even if they are open source licenses.
For instance another user says here says
Code:
PVE is published under AGPLV3. nuff said
Which is a perfect example of the misunderstanding.
This is like saying "you can do anything you want on linux because the source code is available"
The part they leave out is always that "but it will take you a phd in programming and basically the rest of your life".
There is a really important gradient of how easy it is to implement those changes and a mod system, or as an application programmer you might prefer to call them "plugins" or "addons".
Here we are talking about a page that lets user add/remove/change order what are basically javascript scriptlets in a easy and convenient single file package. Like "vm-action-bar.js" and "pve-nag-buster.js" or "bulk-action-panel.js".
Something that can be added in a single step, removed with a single step and without going through what I imagine is a very extensive quality assurance / quality control process at the proxmox software company.
